DragonsDream TIO #64 - Impress It On

As I again failed to be mentioned in the New Year's Honours List, I thought I would make a gong of my own! Only kidding ...

Santa brought me a Melt Pot and this tag is its maiden outing. I have used an Elusive Images peacock feather stamp and coloured the impression with Perfect Pearls and fixed a gem in the centre of the eye. I found using my Melt Pot to be totally absorbing and would be grateful for any suggestions and advice with regard to what I can make. I can see it is going to take up a much bigger part of my crafting life.

Janet, this is awesome. I haven't the faintest idea how to use a melting pot (is this encaustic?) without burning down the house. That is if I even had one. You lucky girl, having some new, exciting toy to play with! I was thinking more of Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey's Harriet for my So Artful. But I guess Wilkie Collins works too.

Thats gorgeous Janet, its really beautiful! I'm a Melt pot newbie too but I found this tutorial http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2008/12/leandra-bead.htmlif you fancy making some beads, I had loads of fun making some :-)Claire xx

This is so lovely Janet. The colouring is so elegant. Glad you are enjoying your new toy. Suzie Weinberg has videos on You tube. This is one it will lead to others http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Ba33m3wjoJen x
